CAIRO —
Flanked by Georgia State Patrol troopers, the Grady County State Court judge was publicly reprimanded in a crowded Grady County Superior Court courtroom Monday morning.
A. Wallace Cato, South Georgia Judicial Circuit chief judge, calling to order the March term of Grady County Superior Court, said the public reprimand was being delivered at the direction of the Georgia Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC).
Cato stepped down from the bench, and Ronnie Joe Lane, Pataula Judicial Circuit judge and Miller County resident, delivered the reprimand.
J. William Bass Sr., State Court judge, was escorted into the courtroom by two GSP troopers.
The courtroom gallery was made up primarily of individuals who had reported as prospective jurors.
Lane advised the gallery that outbursts of approval or disapproval of what was said would not be tolerated. He told Grady County Sheriff Harry Young that if anyone violated the warning, they were to be taken from the courtroom until he could deal with the individual.
See Tuesday's edition for more details.
